Wifi support disappeared after upgrade to ESP32-C3-REV3 1.9.1.52

[JohnMasen]

Target name(s)

ESP32-C3 Devkit

Firmware version

ESP32-C3-REV 1.9.1.47

Was working before? On which version?

Yes, can't remember the firmware version, found my project was using nanoFramework.Hardware.Esp32 1.6.3 which works fine before this upgrade

Device capabilities

WIFI feature becomes unavailable after upgrade.

Description

1. Network config in VS extension reports "Connected nanoDevice doesn't have network capabilities. Can't open Network Configuration dialog."
   

2. System.Device.Wifi.WifiAdapter.FindAllAdapters() and NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces() will throw exception
   
   

How to reproduce

run command nanoff --platform esp32 --serialport COM5 --update

Expected behaviour

The WIFI feature should work as before

Screenshots

No response

Aditional information

VS packages.config compare (before and after upgrading)
Before:(the firmware matches these packages works)

All ESP32 targets have Wifi (and network capabilities) enabled by default, so this has to be something else.
If you are able to deploy an app which references nanoFramework.System.Net that's an indication that network is enabled. Otherwise VS won't even deploy it.

Can you post here the output of device capabilites please?

[Ellerbach]

try to use --masserase when flashing the device the first time. Some time ago, there has been a breaking change that does not allow to keep the wifi settings. It should definitely work fine moving forward.

I'm having the same issue.
after trying to：nanoff --target ESP32_REV3 --serialport COM5 --masserase --update, the network is now available ！

[Ellerbach]

@yureng can you confirm that all is now working as expected with --masserase ? Thanks!

[yureng]

@Ellerbach Yes, use --masserase when flashing the device, Wifi is available and I'm sure everything is working fine.

[JohnMasen]

@Ellerbach This problemd is solved by your suggesiton, WIFI come back with --masserase option, thank you.

So as this solve the problem, closing the discussion then! Feel free to reopen if needed.
